Default Under Engine Cover Fasteners

Does anyone have a source (other than the dealer) for the fasteners that hold the under engine cover in place.

Normally, I change my own oil but thes last time I was short on time and had it done. When I went to change it again this weekend I found 3 fatseners missing.

I need two of the metal ones that secure the front of the pan and one of the palstic ones that connects to the wheel wells.

And they're a lot less expensive than those 1/4 turn fasteners from audi!!
I've got to admit I buy the dzus-like fasteners but I think next time I'll just build up the undermount and install a 5mm or larger rivnut and use a stainless bolt with antiseize.

some other advantages are:

easy to get "spares"
you can hang the pan on the bolts to locate it while you wrestle with the back
really solid

That's funny...I slide in the front, get the sides inside the fender well liners, and then put in the outside back pins and then the center back before I get to the fronts. I use a pin punch to line up the front middle and then same fro the two outside ones.

I've had to repair the belly pan two or three times now...using JB weld and fiber-reinforced bondo. Several times had to replace those clips on the belly pan for the side fenderwell fasteners, as well as the lost fasteners.

You're right....speed nuts and bolts would have been a lot cheaper and stronger.
